About this map

Pocono Lake and the winding course of Tobyhanna Creek anchor this landscape, where the recreation and racing industries of the Poconos are clearly established. The map highlights the sprawling layout of the Pocono International Raceway to the east and the Big Boulder Ski Resort overlooking Lake Harmony. These centers of leisure sit alongside established residential communities and private enclaves such as Locust Lakes Village, Split Rock, and Pocono Lake Preserve.

Transitioning south across the Monroe Co Carbon Co line, the terrain becomes increasingly protected. Large tracts of State Game Lands No 129 and the Penn Forest dominate the southern half of the quadrangle. For those researching local development, the map traces the path of Interchange 43 and various infrastructure, including a Lookout Tower on Pimple Hill and numerous quarries scattered near Albrightsville.
